Danner, you make some good points about trusting the police , however certain studies show police officers often have mental issues or power issues ,which make them less trust worthly since they carry guns and most private people don't.

Take the Md. cop who shot and killed the guy delivering his new bed just as one example

major, I am very much pro-law enforcement. I have several friends who are in that line of work. That being said, when they cross the line, there needs to be accountability. Apparently you are OK with them doing whatever the h3ll they want to just because they have a badge & a gun. Sorry, but we have laws in this country. And they should apply to everyone. Even the police. Got it?

Danner

red, Apparently not. That might explain his dilemma, huh? You must have missed my earlier post. I hope Shirley goes away for a very long time. It's the strong-armed thugs with guns & badges like Shirley that make it very difficult for the cops that are out there trying to do a good job. I have a lot of respect for law enforcement officers. However when they go bad, they need to be rooted out and dealt with harshly. Corruption should not be tolerated at any level.

jack, The MPD chief of police is not covering up anything. Use your head. He's not going to do anything so stupid as to put his future pension in jeopardy for anybody. Things are happening in the investigation of the shooting incident involving the 5 officers that are not being reported yet. Be patient. It may be a rocky road for them. My hope is the truth will be told. No matter what it is. Stay tuned.

If they were to do a sweep in every office of the Jefferson County Gov. ,local lawyers offices and local police departments of everyone involved in helping Bobby Shirley and his cover ups their would be a lot of job openings over night.

Shirley deserves to get what's coming to him, but so do all of the people who allowed him to run wild. They knew what he was doing and how he tried to destroy others lives. They helped him do it all, under the color of law. Especially that idiot prosecutor.
